Project
Applying sequencing-based methods for exploring soil fungal and protist community composition.
Soil fungal and protist communities are involved in a variety of important ecosystem functions, including organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. This project will optimize methods for assessment of soil fungal and protist community diversity using DNA-amplicon sequencing. These protocols will be used to determine if there is a link between soil microbial community composition and environmental conditions.
